Multihyphenate artist Flying Lotus is partnering with filmmaker Eddie Alcazar on Brainfeeder Films, now officially formalized as an independent film finance and production company aimed at developing and supporting creative content.

“Eddie and I started Brainfeeder Films with the intention to produce and support influential and experimental entertainment for film and music fans around the world,” Flying Lotus said. “I’ve always wanted Brainfeeder to be a home for emerging artists, creative talent, and filmmakers who are looking to work outside the traditional studio and independent distribution systems.”

The new company’s first feature project, “KUSO,” directed by Flying Lotus and produced by Alcazar, is an experimental film tracking the aftermath stories of the survivors of a massive earthquake. The pic is currently lensing in Los Angeles.

Brainfeeder is currently shepherding new projects for British animation artists Dominic Hailstone and David Firth (creator of U.K. flash animation series phenom “Salad Fingers”); it produced Firth’s recently completed short “Cream,” about a unusual, revolutionary new product.

Flying Lotus made his directorial debut with the short “Royal,” which premiered at Sundance Next in L.A. in August. He produced by soundtrack for Alcazer’s short “F*****youu,” which had its world premiere at Sundance Next in 2015, and has screened at AFI, Sundance, and Fantastic Fest.

Alcazar is represented by Anonymous Content.

Today’s Brainfeeder announcement, coincidentally, coincides with the international premiere of John Scheinfeld’s “Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary,” about the late tenor sax innovator and husband of musician Alice Coltrane, Flying Lotus’ aunt, who passed away in 2007.

Last week, SingularDTV hosted a screening for the film Perfect. Directed by Eddie Alcazar, with a score by Flying Lotus, executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, the movie depicts a psychedelic retro-futurist view on a violent young man’s journey through rehabilitation at a mysterious institution. Shot at the infamous Sheats-Goldstein Residence, the Lautner-designed home was a perfect setting to present the directors world of self-mutilation, ritualistic bathing, and lackadaisical models strewn across leather furniture including Flaunt faves Rainsford and Shaun Ross.

Netflix has announced a slew of new anime series, including a show titled “Yasuke” that is being executive-produced by Flying Lotus, as Deadline reports. FlyLo is also composing the soundtrack to the series, which will be directed by LeSean Thomas (“The Boondocks”) and stars Lakeith Stanfield (Sorry to Bother You, “Atlanta”) voicing the lead role. While details are scarce, “Yasuke” revolves around “a retired ronin who must take up his sword when he is charged with the task of transporting a mysterious child who dark forces want to eliminate.”

The sci-fi thriller, which is executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, stars Garrett Wareing, Courtney Eaton, and Abbie Cornish. The film follows a young man with a violent past who enters a mysterious clinic where the patients transform themselves using genetic engineering.

In the new science-fiction thriller Perfect, a boy in a cold and stark modern house is seduced by advertisements of perfection to install implantable characteristics directly into his body. The implants heal his dark, twisted visions, but come with a corporeal cost. He persists in applying them, hoping to reach perfection, but ultimately he discovers that purity of mind is not exactly as he’s imagined.

Flying Lotus, aka Steven Ellison, has directed and scored a new short film, Skinflick, under his filmmaking alias steve. Watch it below, via Nowness.
